At the FBI, a history of hiring prostitutes or stealing from employer may no longer be a barrier to being hired
In June, the FBI quietly lowered some of the standards it uses when it conducts background checks on would-be federal agents and other personnel.

FBI Director Kash Patel has not publicly acknowledged the changes on prostitution or bestiality, but he has more broadly spoken about his belief that the FBI needed to update its hiring standards in general.
In a video interview with Patel posted on July 27 with former FBI agent John Nantz, Patel discussed some of his efforts to overhaul older hiring standards to entice new recruits.
"We are losing too many qualified candidates to the rigors of the requirements from yesteryear," he said, citing as one example a new and more relaxed rule on hiring people with prior law enforcement experience.
